I wonder at what point would you say "Yup, that's been a failed experiment"?

Do your ideals have a metric by which they may be considered?

Do you believe the 'lesser of the two evils' to be a false dichotomy for this case?

You mean as in when the British were running India it was a better country?

Or when the Dutch traded the occasional slave but Surinam was an orderly place that it was ok?

I strongly believe that there are things that humanity should not engage in, slavery, human trafficking and Nazism are on that list.

There is no 'lesser of two evils' when those are involved.

It's not as if I believe in slavery or Fascism myself, however everything should be examined contextually.

The historical alternative to slavery was mass murder. Dan Carlin will tell you that.

> There is no 'lesser of two evils' when those are involved.

There kind of is. It takes no imagination on my part to come up with dozens of historical examples of Bad, Badder and Worse.
